The Gillian Lynne Theatre made history in 2018 when it became the first West End venue to be named after a woman. This was in honour of Dame Gillian’s outstanding contribution to musical theatre – primarily as choreographer of the groundbreaking production of Cats, which ran here for over 21 years. Other smash-hit sensations include War Horse, School of Rock the Musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella, and Standing at the Sky’s Edge. This year sees the return of The Wizard of Oz and The Lehman Trilogy, with the RSC’s My Neighbour Totoro coming in 2025.

Home to a 1300-seat auditorium, relatively intimate by West End standards but still comfortably capable of hosting large conferences and launches, the Gillian Lynne Theatre offers a truly unique space. Located on London’s iconic Drury Lane, just a short stroll from Holborn tube station, our theatre is surrounded by the character of the capital, while our flair for hospitality and technical expertise are a sure-fire way of conjuring up a touch of showbiz magic for your next event.
